Abstract

After completing its 1960 season, the National Basketball Association (NBA) consisted of teams located in such cities of metropolitan areas in the east as Boston, New York, Philadelphia, and Syracuse, and in the west as Cincinnati, Detroit, Los Angeles, and St. Louis. Given that geographic distribution, NBA officials anticipated and shrewdly recognized that some other domestic markets were available for exploitation as potentially attractive sites for new professional basketball teams. When Major League Baseball (MLB) and the National Football League (NFL) and National Hockey League (NHL) expanded in size, the NBA became more ambitious, businesslike, and risky by gradually invading different sports markets across the United States (US) and two in Canada.
